Pokkén Tournament DX: How will it differ from the Wii U version?

As with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the biggest difference for Pokkén will be mobility. Instead of needing to play in front of a television, the game can be taken with you wherever you go. As shown in the Pokkén Tournament DX's trailer, this may lead to numerous roadside battles.

The appearance of Pokkén Tournament on the Switch means the game gets an added control scheme that players will have to master: the Joy-Con. It's unseen if the Nintendo Switch's upcoming arcade controller stick will support the Tekken-style fighting game.

The game will also include 3-on-3 battles, online ranked matches and friendly matches.
